Update: The SelfV Second Edition is going on. Log onto to http://selfv.in/ for more information and inspiration. Share your story or those of your dear ones to encourage people to fight cancer better.

Walking down the memory lane, here is what happened @ last year SelfV contest.

For once, it
was not just the battle with cancer that the survivors won; in addition they
won Harley Davidson Super Bike, a Samsung Led Smart TV, merchandise from
designer label Armani and many more. 10 winners were chosen by a special jury
and I am glad to say I am one of them.

In today’s world when every parent wants their kids to be all rounder and want to fulfill their dreams through them. This courageous mother realized that her son’s happiness and contentment was more important than the ambition of having an all around performer. This post has been picked up by Rekha.

So after seeing the contribution of my daughter to my life in my post What Do We Want From Our Children?,
let us now see what my son has contributed to my life. Let me introduce you
people to Rayyan once again after bragging about him on his birthday.

If you were to ask the question ‘What do you want from your
children?’ to a parent, they would find it very tough to answer. Gone are those
days when you heard parents expecting the son or daughter to be a doctor, engineer,
and many other such professionals; these are the days when parents want their
children to be all rounder. They have a list of things which they want their
children to excel in. The stupid ‘me’ lived in the notion it was wrong for us
to pressurize our children to take certain professional of parental choice. The
parent species has left me behind and evolved far ahead of that phase.

I missed out writing on 1000 voices speak for compassion
last month, i.e. on February 20th. Building from Bullying is a topic I could not miss to write about.
This time around I made it a point to share my own experience with bullying,
because what I am today may have started with bullying in my childhood.

Back in my naughty childhood days, when I would be a nasty
child driving my Mom crazy, disobeying her or acting weird, my family would
tell me, “You have to respect and obey your Mom, the heaven lies under her
feet. Even if you carry her on your shoulders for a decade, you cannot repay
her for carrying you in her womb for a day…………………………. Blah!” The end point of
all the blahing was that a child can never repay a mother. I know I couldn’t,
but I think my daughter has paid me back for being her Mom in full and with
high interest added to the premium.
